Giddy up

One of the main reasons I wanted to add a lil something to the zipper, was to simply have something to hold on to!  No more of that fumbling for the zipper as your (boy)friend whisks through the subway turnstile, wallet and subway card already back in the pocket.  Grrr.

The tassels strand actually took a lot longer than it looks.  Making it from scratch and figuring out how everything connects (while hiding the needed), and beading the threads all amounted to a few hours believe it or not!

It's almost a bit matchy-match for my taste, but I didn't want it to steal the show :)
